RE: H.B. No. 2329
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2022
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Culture, Arts, & International Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 2329 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HISTORIC PRESERVATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to:
(1) Require the Department of Land and Natural Resources to place historical markers in the State to indicate significant sites in the life of President Barack Obama; and
(2) Appropriate funds for this purpose.
Your Committee finds
that it is important and appropriate that the State celebrate and commemorate
President Obama's early life in Hawaii.
Your
Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Requiring the Department of Land and Natural
Resources, in consultation with the Hawaii Tourism Authority and State Foundation
on Culture and the Arts, to determine the appropriate location for the historical
markers, rather than requiring the placement of the historical markers at
specifically identified locations;
(2) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2044,
to encourage further discussion; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments
for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Culture, Arts, & International Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2329, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2329, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Culture, Arts, & International Affairs,
